No, this would not be a violation of those certifications.
Once the auction has concluded, if the Board approves the auction results, the Board may choose to release information regarding final auction prices and the names of the winners. The Association and Confidential Information Rules state that, at that point, a winner may itself release information (only) regarding the number of tranches it has won and the territories that the winner will be serving. The Association and Confidential Information Rules state that, at that point, a losing bidder may itself release information (only) regarding the fact that it participated in the auction.
The Registered Bidder may not make such a disclosure prior to the Board having approved the auction results. Winners and losing bidders otherwise continue to be bound by all certifications from the Association and Confidential Information Rules that extend beyond the Board decision on the auction results. Please consult the Association and Confidential Information Rules portion of the Auction Rules to identify which certifications must be upheld beyond the Board decision on the auction results.
